RESTRICTION TALK FROM JAVA.

The following letter dated July 10 was received by Messra. Pen- treath & Co. from Mesars. Hornby, Hemelryk & Co., Liverpool.

Strong markets have gain been Je evidenco. Rumours that Java is actually in favour of some form of restriction scheme and is willing to er-operate with other producing countries, provided these countries are also willing to restrict their output, has been the cause of the further advances registered both in London and in New York during the past week,

A salient feature of the week was the large business done in Java sugars, amounting to 370,000 tons of whites at 12 guilders and 68,000 tons browns at 11 guilders, oy the Java Trust to Java shippers and merchants. It is estimated that the Java Trust has already sold 13 million tons of the coming crop. The East is very firm and the trust is not a seller except at increased prices.

One or two complaints are being received from the Continent regard- ing dry weather, at these must not be taken too seriously, at present, in view the ideal weather that the crop has had since plapting

time.

The Board of Trade Figures for the United Kingdom during the month of June give the total con- sumption as 199,316 tons, against 192,600 tons in May and 177,509 tuns in June last year. Stocks are given as 130,250 toas, against 215,350, tons in May and 312,300 tons in June last year.

Market Nervous.

At the moment, the market is in highly nervous condition, and any form of agreement to restrict production which might be come to between Java, Cuba, and other producing countries would, no doubt, have the effect of advancing prices sharply. We therefore con tinue to maintain the opinion ex- pressed in our recent reports that purchases on temporarily quiet markete should eventually prove advantageous.

HERO.

[UT OUR FILM CRITIC.)

1929.

"None but the Brave" shows Charles Morton in one of theso parts which appear to be popular at the moment of a young man who thinks all the world and a bit more of himself. But Mr. Morton looks nice lad and much may be for given him; in fact you really feel sorry when for a moment he is down and out. This particular" conquer- ing hero leaves college with an enormous athletic trophy in his arma and nothing in his head but a high opinion of himself. In an attempt to show the world haw in aurance policies should be sold be follows a notorious ** hard aut down to a popular seaside resort where, of course, he meets the usual A galaxy of bathing beauties. beauty competition is staged and presented in full colours.

Our New York correspondents cable that Cuban support, short covering and new long buying-are due to reports from Cuba that the casential features of a single selling ngency have been agreed upon, and that an early formation is pro- Lable. Production and consump- tion statistics are more bullish. Sentiment is more optimistic to- wards the outcome of the Amster- dam conference.

A further cable states that reporte are current that there is every possibility of the Cuban single sell- ing ngency taking definite form be- fore the middle of August.
